Your neurotype shapes how you perceive, process, and navigate the world—a fundamental architecture of consciousness that extends far beyond diagnostic labels. When this architecture differs from societal expectations, the mismatch creates friction that reverberates through every aspect of life, often manifesting as complex health challenges traditional medicine fails to connect.
You might have spent decades masking your autistic traits so effectively that even you lost track of where the performance ends and you begin. Perhaps you've navigated ADHD's relentless current while being told you're lazy or "not living up to your potential." Maybe you've only recently recognised that your lifelong exhaustion stems not from personal failure but from existing in a world calibrated for different wiring.
We understand what others overlook: sensory overwhelm isn't being "too sensitive" but a nervous system processing stimuli with different filters. Executive dysfunction isn't a character flaw but genuine neurological variation in how your brain prioritises tasks. Your need for routine, stimming, or specific communication styles aren't quirks to be corrected but essential strategies for regulation.
These aren't separate conditions coincidentally affecting neurodivergent people—they're the predictable physical consequences of navigating a world that demands you be someone you're not.
This pathway recognises that neurodivergence profoundly shapes physical health—often emerging alongside or interacting with connective tissue variations, autonomic dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. Years of sensory overload contribute to chronic pain and fatigue. Sustained stress from masking affects immune and autonomic function. Interoceptive differences impact everything from recognising hunger to identifying illness.
We don't separate your neurotype from your health—we understand it as the lens through which all your experiences are filtered, requiring care that honours this fundamental truth.
Comprehensive questionnaires capture developmental history mapping, sensory processing inventory, executive function assessment, and masking/camouflaging evaluation to understand how your unique neurotype has been both your strength and struggle.
Our clinical neuropsychologist conducts thorough assessment over 1-3 sessions that goes beyond stereotypical presentations, including comprehensive clinical interview exploring developmental history and current functioning, formal assessment with autism-specific tools (ADOS-2), ADHD evaluation, cognitive profiling, masking and burnout evaluation, and real-world functional assessment that observes how your neurotype affects actual daily tasks.
Data synthesis includes pattern recognition connecting childhood observations with current challenges, differential diagnosis, masking impact analysis, and intersectionality consideration, while profile creation documents strength identification, challenge mapping, sensory profiling, and executive function blueprint.
Provides diagnostic clarity with clear conclusions about autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent conditions, explanation of findings, strength and challenge integration, identity validation, neurotype education, masking psychoeducation, self-advocacy tools, and resource provision.
Includes psychiatric support for medication evaluation and co-occurring conditions, psychological support for identity integration therapy and masking recovery work, and practical strategy development for workplace accommodations, sensory environment optimization, executive function support systems, and routine planning.
For those wanting to dive even deeper, our experienced occupational therapists offer comprehensive sensory analysis includes detailed profiling across all sensory systems, threshold identification, sensory seeking vs. avoiding patterns, environmental impact assessment, sensory diet creation, environmental modifications, sensory tool prescription, and crisis prevention planning.
Your neurotype isn't a chemical imbalance to be corrected—it's a different operating system that sometimes benefits from targeted support. Our neurodivergent-affirming psychiatrists understand that ADHD medications work differently when you're also autistic, that sensory overwhelm can masquerade as anxiety, and that the exhaustion from years of masking creates genuine depression requiring nuanced treatment. We don't prescribe to make you "normal"—we prescribe to help your authentic self function with less friction in a world not built for your brain.
That disconnect between your obvious intelligence and your daily struggles isn't a personal failing—it's valuable neurological data. Our neuropsychologists decode the unique patterns of your cognitive architecture, identifying the specific ways your brain processes attention, memory, and executive function. Through comprehensive assessment that goes beyond outdated stereotypes, we map your cognitive strengths and challenges with the precision your complex neurotype deserves, providing the concrete evidence that validates what you've always known about how differently your mind works.
Our comprehensive ADHD assessment combines clinical interview, developmental history exploration, and neuropsychological evaluation to provide definitive diagnostic clarity for adults seeking understanding of their attention regulation and executive function patterns. Clinical Neuropsychologist Holly Nelson conducts thorough evaluation using validated rating scales and cognitive testing that captures all ADHD presentations—inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined types—while recognising sophisticated masking strategies that often obscure adult presentations.
The assessment may also include detailed cognitive profiling, trauma-informed mental health screening, and differential diagnosis evaluation to distinguish ADHD from anxiety, depression, or autism spectrum conditions. You receive comprehensive documentation suitable for NDIS applications and workplace accommodations, plus specific recommendations for executive function support, environmental modifications, and intervention strategies that work with your unique cognitive architecture rather than against it.
Our comprehensive autism assessment combines clinical interview, developmental history analysis, and gold-standard observational tools to provide definitive diagnostic clarity for adults seeking understanding of their neurotype. Clinical Neuropsychologist Holly Nelson conducts thorough evaluation that recognises sophisticated masking strategies, traces authentic autistic traits beneath learned adaptations, and distinguishes autism from overlapping conditions like social anxiety or ADHD.
The assessment may also include detailed sensory profiling, cognitive evaluation when indicated, and trauma-informed mental health screening to capture the full complexity of your presentation. You receive comprehensive documentation suitable for NDIS applications and workplace accommodations, plus practical recommendations for sensory modifications, communication strategies, and environmental supports that honour your authentic neurotype rather than demanding further masking.
For those who relate to both autism and ADHD experiences but don't fit either presentation perfectly, our AuDHD assessment provides comprehensive evaluation of how these neurotypes interact and create unique patterns in your daily life. Clinical Neuropsychologist Holly Nelson conducts integrated assessment across two extended sessions, moving beyond simple co-occurrence to understand the sophisticated interplay between attention regulation, sensory processing, and social communication differences that creates its own distinct neurotype.
The assessment includes complex pattern analysis, masking evaluation, and integrated developmental history exploration that traces how both neurotypes may have influenced each other throughout your life. You receive comprehensive documentation suitable for NDIS applications and workplace accommodations, plus coordinated recommendations that address the complexity of dual neurotypes without creating conflicting support strategies.
Your autism diagnosis was just the beginning, not the end of understanding how your neurotype affects your daily functioning. As life circumstances change—whether through career transitions, relationship changes, health developments, or simply the natural evolution of how you navigate the world—your support needs may shift significantly. NDIS reviews and funding applications require current evidence of your functional capacity, not outdated assessments that may no longer reflect your lived reality.
Our Clinical Neuropsychologist provides comprehensive reassessment that documents how your autism manifests in your current life context, updating your functional profile with the clinical precision NDIS planners require. This isn't a superficial review—it's thorough evaluation of how changes in your environment, responsibilities, or circumstances have affected your support needs, masking capacity, and daily functioning.
Our psychologists specialise in the complex intersection of neurodivergence and mental health, understanding that anxiety often stems from sensory overwhelm, depression from chronic masking exhaustion, and trauma from years of being misunderstood. They provide identity integration therapy for late diagnosis, develop masking recovery strategies that help you unmask safely, and address the mental health impacts of living authentically in a neurotypical world—all while affirming your neurotype as difference, not disorder.
Your need for specific routines, tools, and environmental modifications isn't being "high maintenance"—it's your nervous system communicating its requirements for optimal function. Our occupational therapists specialise in translating your sensory and executive function needs into practical daily strategies that work with your neurology, not against it. From workplace accommodations that actually accommodate to home environments that support regulation, we engineer your physical world to match the sophisticated needs of your neurotype.
That "gut feeling" about certain textures, sounds, or lighting isn't being oversensitive—it's your nervous system providing precise data about what supports or destabilises your functioning. Our detailed sensory profiling maps your unique patterns of hyper- and hypo-responsivity across all sensory systems, creating a personalised sensory diet that transforms overwhelming environments into regulating ones. We prescribe specific tools, techniques, and modifications that honor your sensory needs as the fundamental neurological requirements they are.
This evidence-based auditory intervention uses specially filtered music to retune your nervous system's response to sound and social connection. For many neurodivergent individuals, the protocol reduces auditory sensitivity, improves emotional regulation, and enhances social communication comfort. Our trained providers carefully monitor your response to ensure the intervention supports rather than overwhelms your sensory system, creating measurable improvements in nervous system flexibility and environmental tolerance.
Our expert dietitian, Evan Waterhouse, understands the unique nutritional challenges often experienced with neurodivergence, including sensory food aversions, medication-related appetite changes, and gastrointestinal sensitivities. He provides practical, judgement-free nutrition support that accommodates taste preferences, sensory needs, and routine importance. His personalised nutrition plans aim to stabilise energy levels, optimise brain function, and support overall wellbeing while respecting individual food relationships and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Our specialised approach to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) combines dietetic expertise with psychological strategies to address complex eating challenges common in neurodivergent individuals. Our dietitians work collaboratively with you to gradually expand food variety while respecting sensory sensitivities, food texture aversions, and routine preferences. We provide practical strategies for nutritional adequacy, develop personalised exposure plans, and coordinate with your healthcare team to support both physical health and a positive relationship with food.
